You head to your closet and grab one of your favorite workout shirts only to get a big whiff of a musty stench when you put it on. Wait a minute, didn\u2019t you just wash this?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s a go-to pair of leggings or muscle tank, or even that workout bench at the gym, we&#8217;ve all experienced exercise clothing or equipment that feels not so clean. There&#8217;s more to these stinky encounters than just the funky stench, too. In fact, <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unclean workout gear can transmit bacteria and fungus that can cause <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/things-your-skin-can-tell-you-about-your-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">acne<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/prep-your-feet-for-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">athlete\u2019s foot<\/a>, or even get us sick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe come in contact with bacteria all the time and the majority of bacteria doesn\u2019t make us sick, but some people are more sensitive to different bacterias,\u201d says Kelly Reynolds, Ph.D., director of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/uahs.arizona.edu\/environment-exposure-science-and-risk-assessment-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Environment, Exposure Science and Risk Assessment Center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (ESRAC) at the University of Arizona. \u201cThe bacteria we\u2019re concerned about here can cause staph infections, especially if you have open wounds from a cut or open hair follicles from shaving, so it\u2019s always a good idea to have a good hygiene practice when working out to reduce exposure.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Incorporating good hygiene into your exercise routine is easier than you think. Use these <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">five expert-approved tips to properly clean your workout clothes and equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. Minimize Moisture<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there\u2019s one rule to abide by here, it\u2019s to avoid letting your workout gear and clothing stay wet after using them, according to Reynolds. That means <em>not<\/em> throwing your sweaty shirts in the hamper (the odors can get trapped and activated after you wash and re-wear them) or rolling up your sweaty yoga mat after exercising.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/yoga-flow-anxiety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Use This Quick Yoga Flow To Reduce Anxiety<\/b><\/a><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA moist environment plus skin cells and whatnot is an ideal environment for bacteria to grow,\u201d Reynolds says. While you&#8217;d ideally wash your clothes right after working out, that\u2019s not always practical, so at least hang them up to dry until you can throw them in the washing machine. \u201cDrying them out alone reduces 90 percent of bacteria,\u201d adds Reynolds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you go to the office (or anywhere that&#8217;s not home) after the gym, put your used workout clothes in a separate bag, like a grocery bag, to keep the bacteria and odors sealed up. \u201cIf you had a particularly sweaty workout and your workout clothes are really saturated, it&#8217;s a good idea to give them a little rinse with clean water first to get some sweat out of them,\u201d says trainer Tami Smith, C.P.T., owner of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fithealthymomma.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fit Healthy Momma<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cThen, wring them out and place them in your bag to be taken home to clean.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Wipe Equipment Liberally<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of us know to wipe down public gym equipment after using it, but you should take the time to clean equipment beforehand, too. \u201cWe all have our own personal bacteria and there are microbiomes you aren\u2019t used to at the gym that can lead to a higher risk of skin infections and irritations,\u201d says Reynolds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before using any equipment, wipe it down thoroughly. Then do so again when you&#8217;re finished! <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have an open wound, protect it by putting on some antibiotic ointment and covering it with a bandage before hitting the gym, Reynolds suggests.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Wash Workout Clothes With Care<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since workout clothes come in many fabrics, it&#8217;s always important to read the tags to see how particular items should be cleaned. Generally, though, Smith likes to wash workout clothes in cold water on a gentle cycle since hot water can break down the fabrics and affect the integrity of the fit. She also turns exercise clothes inside out before washing them so that the areas most affected by your sweat are most exposed to the washing machine. For bonus points, you can even use a detergent specifically formulated for workout clothes to help really break down those odors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAlthough your workout gear is made to hold up and support you through tough workouts, you need to be gentle with the cleaning of them so that they will continue to last for you,\u201d Smith says. \u201cA little extra time and attention to detail will help ensure that they hold up well and that they don&#8217;t have trapped odors.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Deep Clean Home Gear Regularly<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While wiping down your yoga mat and letting it air dry between uses is good practice in the short-term, consider establishing a monthly deep-cleaning routine for all your workout gear, suggests trainer Reda Elmardi, C.P.T., owner of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thegymgoat.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Gym Goat<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use sanitizing wipes or a DIY cleaner of filtered water, refined vinegar, and a few drops of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/natural-beauty-skin\/aromatherapy\/essential-oils\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tea tree oil<\/a> with a microfiber towel to help you wipe down yoga mats, weight machines, free weights, and other surfaces, like yoga blocks, he suggests. You can also add a few drops of dish soap to a spray bottle filled with filtered water. \u201cIf your weights have lacquer paint or an elastic covering on them, stay away from alcohol-based cleaners or window cleaners since they can harm that cover,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/walking-heart-health\/\"><b>There\u2019s No Need To Run: Walk Your Way To A Healthier Heart<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, if the equipment you&#8217;re cleaning is electronic\u2014like a treadmill\u2014don\u2019t soak it too much or you might compromise the machine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Don&#8217;t Re-Wear Workout Clothes Between Washes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s tempting to re-wear workout clothes before washing them if you didn&#8217;t have a particularly sweaty gym session, Smith advises against double-dipping on a regular basis. \u201cEven if you don&#8217;t feel like you got really sweaty, there&#8217;s still bacteria and sweat present that you&#8217;ll want to wash off to keep your skin clean and healthy,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">really<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> need to wear those leggings again, pop them in the dryer to blast the bacteria with heat, Reynolds suggests. One thing you should\u00a0<em>never<\/em> use multiple times before washing it, though: that sweaty workout towel. Just don&#8217;t.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Picture this: You\u2019re getting ready for your morning run.
